Doctor Who returns to BBC iPlayer ahead of new series

Doctor Who fans will be able to watch every episode since the series’ 2005 revival on BBC iPlayer as of today.

The latest series of the show will kick off this autumn.

Ahead of Jodie Whittaker taking up the mantle of the 13th doctor, all ten series will be available to watch as box sets on the streaming service, including every special from the past 13 years.

The series has been one of the BBC’s biggest successes since returning in 2005, and has featured a number of big-name guest stars including Carey Mulligan, Simon Pegg, Derek Jacobi, Kylie Minogue, Andrew Garfield, Felicity Jones and Bill Nighy.

Previous series of Our Girl and The Bridge were recently brought back to BBC iPlayer before the new series aired, providing fans with a chance to remind themselves where things left off.

“We’re reinventing the BBC for a new generation, and BBC iPlayer is key to that,” said Dan McGolpin, controller of programming for the BBC. “Bringing back these series of Doctor Who is just part of our offer this summer, giving viewers the chance to uncover or rediscover the Doctor’s previous adventures.

"You can also watch the World Cup live in UHD, catch-up on the latest stories unfolding in Albert Square and binge-watch boxset drama like Our Girl, or comedy like This Country. BBC iPlayer will have something for everyone.”
